I have read through the support information from the Microsoft site and however it didn't help to solve at all. I tried to disable all of the non Microsoft services and tried some of the major possibilites and the problem of installation still came out.

Apart from the first posted error message, below is the error message indicates which component has been succesfully installed and obviously nothing was installed and even the most important dependent or Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0 couldn't be installed.

The following component failed to install
Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0
The following component was not attempted
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition - ENU

May i know how to resolve this problem? I need to get the installation done ASAP. Thank you.

Installation logs for the Framework itself listed in that webpage is:

Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Temp\dotNetfx.log and netfx.log

Did any of those log files have any useful information about the problem?

There might be a problem with the Windows Installer, see the Framework redist page under 'required software' is listed and linked Windows Installer 3.1 - try installing this first.
I found this for the error code: http://www.appdeploy.com/msierrors/detail.asp?id=126 also mentions a Windows Installer cleanup utility.

Hi, I have tried to install the windows installer from the URL you provided to me but it still didn't work. And when i executed the intallation of VB.NET, it stated that the windows installer has been installed. So may i know what are other possibile solutions which can solve this problem? Thank you.

 

[JohnH]

You say the Installer is there, the error says Framework did not. Did you try to install the Framework separately (download from the redist page) before trying the Studio package again?

Thanks, it solved my problem. I downloaded Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86) and installed it. After that, i executed the installation again and it worked fine.
